What kind of rig is this? (Deerhunter Bonnaroo 2011)

I almost creamed in my jeans when I heard Josh Fauver's setup. So dirty and grindy- yet thundering. Anyone have a clue as to what kind of rig this is? Looks like a vintage SS amp, and not sure about the cab...

Directly on the right of the drum riser if there is any confusion...

No idea, but I am a big fan of his recorded bass tone. Especially "Nothing Ever Happened".

Do you think it is a 2x15 cab? Judging by how it's micd that is my assumption...

oh, the cab too? i'd say for sure the one in the second pic is 2x15--kustom tuck-and-roll, unlikely the 3x12, but possibly. the first pick i'd agree is a 2x15. i'm still going to place my bet with a silvertone pa head for the amp. prob the 200 watt tubey, 4 channel one.

It looks to me like it had slider controls at some time in its history.

Quite possibly could have been the source of the creaming. We may never know.
